As a counterpoint to the Parisian pool being slow, China beat the world record in 100m free 10 minutes ago.
- elliottkember 2y agoThat's not a counterpoint, it doesn't imply the pool is fast or even normal. In a faster pool his time could've been even lower.

- rty32 2y agoNitpick: for individual sports, probably better to refer to participants as "Pan Zhanle from China" than "China".
- samatman 2y agoNitpick of the nitpick: in international sports, the preposition used is "of", as in "Pan Zhanle of China", as an elision of "of the Chinese team". Now, I could make up reasons for this, like not every athlete is strictly "from" the place they compete for, but a just-so story isn't needed here, prepositions are what they are, often arbitrary but always specific.
